Bears’ Rome Odunze Playing Through Foot Stress Fracture, Listed as Limited Ahead of Rams

Medical guidance says this injury typically requires six to eight weeks without football activity.

Overview

  • Odunze has been listed as a limited participant in midweek practices ahead of Sunday’s Divisional Round against the Rams.
  • He said managing the pain in the Wild Card win over the Packers was tough and described soreness after playing 54 snaps.
  • He returned last week after missing the final five regular-season games and a Dec. 14 setback in pregame warmups.
  • In the Wild Card game, he caught two of six targets for 44 yards, including a pivotal 27-yard conversion on fourth-and-8.
  • Dr. Mason West and other commentary note stress fractures generally do not heal without rest and that continued play risks aggravation.
